The Death of a Leaf

The miracle and beauty of a leaf as it trembles in the breeze and soaks up its last rays of sun.

A dew drop balances on the tip of a dead leaf soon to tumble to the ground.

A leaf lives for a moment in time absorbing nutrients and sunlight creating oxygen.

A dead leaf falls from a plant but nourishes the earth so that new growth can be created.

A leaf has a purpose, a beauty in life but also in death.

Look closely at how its colors change from green to tones of rust, red and yellow.

A dead leaf forms, lines, curves and contortions that create wild and lovely shapes.
